So this week has been supper full Monday zone volley ball and emailing that is always fun when we get together as a zone.
Tuesday we got together for district meeting at our branches building We had a normal district meeting paid and ordered our zone Jerseys. We then went on exchanges with the district leader. He Is supper amazing and funny. I Led the area for a day and learned so much about planing and contacting. |I also learned that I know more than I thought of Tagalog. Then that night I learned how to make an adobo.
Wednesday we went to the neighboring Municipality Luna and closed our exchanges. We returned to Belaoan planed and went to work. I am supper exited because one of our Investigators who we are teaching Finally said a prayer in a lesson we taught the other investigators in the area and then started exploring new places. We found a very possible Candide for an IBD (invitation to be baptized/ Investigator with baptismal date.) We are supper exited and and were so guided in finding the people we have.
Thursday was the most busy day of all. We went to San Fernando For my 4 week follow up training. It was so great I got to see all my batch and catch up. It was so amazing. So a little history When we got to the mission one of the 4 sisters from my batch realized she had accidentally let her wallet on the bus with everything in it. After the flow up training she told me someone had found it all the way across the mission had contacted the missionary's in that area and had arranged to meet them at the mission headquarters to give Her wallet back. Back when she lost it that the lord would help her and she was supper exited to tell me that I was right. This just went to show me even more how much the lord is with us and that when we are on his side all things will be alright. I got to visit with my batch the mission presidents wife sister Bangal made us lunch and we returned to our area. We planed and went to work. after working we returned to the apartment the other elders in the area saw us coming and as a running joke locked and quickly shut the door yelling "Missionary's" (this is funny because it never happens here except at home.) How ever our already breaking doorknob decided to break at this very moment so I spent the next 15 minutes instructing the other elders how to take off the doorknob and then somehow getting the latch to open so that we could get into our apartment, and then fixing the doorknob (thank you dad for teaching me how do do things like that.)
Friday was an average day except the other elders had a baptismal interview and because the district leader got here so late in order for him to return to his area it would have cost him 3 times as much if not more to return to his area so the assistance to the president gave him permission to stay the night in our apartment. needless to say that was quite interesting.
Saturday was another day of work except that we did a lot of finding we explored new areas and found lots of people we were again led to people that were so prepared just showing us again how much the lord has prepared people for the missionary's.
Also we got a new room in our apartment the land lord took all of his stuff out of it and so now we have another room available to us so we are deciding what to do with that...
Sunday was great after sacrament meeting we went to choir practice the branch choir consists of the missionary's the pianist the branch pres. and his daughter and several new converts. we are preparing a medal of all the Christmas songs in the hymn book.
So people keep asking about the food Its all good we are eating lots of Filipino food but mostly in the apartment. In the past 4 weeks we have been fed by members 5 times 4 of witch were in the first week.so ya I've learned how to make lots of different things including Lumpia. But you want to know our favorite snack... TOAST we just randomly make it and have toast.so ya.
My spiritual thought this weeks comes from Enos 1
2 And I will tell you of the wrestle which I had before God, before I received a remission of my sins.5 And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.
6 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
Repentance isn't always easy and sometimes it can even be like a wrestle but it is so worth it when you feel that guilt swept away. I challenge everyone to find ways that you can come closer to your heavenly father and stay close to him if you need to repent repent and return to him no mater how hard it is worth it
